Allegation
The EFCC charged Suswam and his Finance Commissioner, Omodachi Okolobia, on an amended 11-count charge alleging they diverted ₦3.1 billion in proceeds from the state's shares held through Benue Investment and Property Company Limited, transacted via Elixir Securities Limited and Elixir Investment Partners Limited, involving conspiracy, money laundering and criminal breach of trust.
Outcome / Status
A no-case submission by Suswam was dismissed by the Federal High Court in July 2025, ordering him to open his defence; the case remained unresolved as of early 2026, more than a decade after arraignment.
Administration's response
Suswam contested the charges and denied wrongdoing throughout the prolonged trial.
